Time flies, time flies.

Soon came the summer of the twentieth year of the Republic of China.

Feng Zhou has completed the high school graduation examination and obtained a letter from the local education bureau, in everyone's opinion, when the time comes, you only need to complete the procedures for applying for Nankai University, and get a good score in the Nankai independent enrollment examination, and you will be able to get the admission notice with great confidence.

Therefore, before the start of the school entrance examination, Feng Zhou said goodbye to Mukden and came to Jinmen.

Since the beginning of the Westernization Movement, Tianjin has become an important commercial town in the north, after Beiyang took power, the industry and commerce of Tianjin have developed rapidly, after the unification of the national situation, Tianjin has gradually entered the heyday, its status is not inferior to Shanghai, it is the second largest commercial city in the country and the largest financial and commercial center in the north. Its trade volume has accounted for one-third of the country's trade volume, and there are 49 domestic and foreign banks on the financial street, of which 12 domestic banks have their head offices in Tianjin, more than 270 domestic and foreign insurance institutions, and a fully functional stock exchange.

Jinmen is also a place of canals, shipping, shipping, in the country has a unique advantage. There is a saying that "there is Shanghai in the south, and Tianjin in the north".

Fengzhou chose to open in the south, not only because Jinmen is located in the north and is within the reach of the Gong family, but also because there are concessions, especially the British concessions.

Where there is a British concession, there are British newspapers, and they will publish serialized works that meet the preferences of British people.

Feng Zhou had already copied a copy of "Harry Potter" from memory a month ago and submitted it to the "Beijing-Tianjin Times".

As an orphanage, Feng Zhou, who is proficient in seven Chinese, really forgot to sleep and eat when he first learned English, directly reading and reciting the original English book, and he memorized a rolling melon in the English version of the Harry Potter series.

Of course, in line with the principle of casting a wide net, he copied more than a dozen copies, and the targets of his articles also included the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong, the Times and the Mirror in Britain, and the New York Times and Washington Post in the United States.

Although the First World War was won, its cruel scene left a painful memory on European and American countries, so the post-war pacifist ideology and war-weariness and fear of war were quite prevalent.

Under the influence of this kind of thinking, hedonism will have a certain rise,

Although Feng Zhou only sent out a few chapters, the content is very rich and full of suspense, the owl messenger, the fantastical Diagon Alley, the magical platform nine and three-quarters of London train station, and the four major schools of Hogwarts and the Sorting Hat, etc., a huge magical world, although it has only revealed the tip of the iceberg, but it can definitely catch the eyes of everyone who sees these chapters!

I believe that the editors-in-chief of major newspapers and periodicals will be eye-opening when they see this book, discover the wonders of this work, and then can't wait to publish it, and at the same time desperately stuff the small money into Feng Zhou's hands.

Of course, making money is secondary, and the main thing about sealing the boat is to improve his prestige.

Although the center of gravity of the world economy has shifted to the New World at this time, the British Empire still has irrefutable influence in this world, if Feng Zhou spreads throughout the English-speaking world with the "Harry Potter" series, it will be able to have a certain influence in British society and even the world, then there will be people to listen to and respect in the country!

To know the success of the Harry Potter series and its worldwide impact, its author JK Rowling relied on this series of books to go from a single mother living on government grants to one of the richest women in the world, and was also awarded an honorary knight by the British royal family!

Feng Zhou is not a rare title, and he doesn't want to be a pure writer, he just wants to "carry the foreign self-respect".

Of course, in order to explain that he was able to write a pure book with a British background in Chinese, he also wrote a preface to explain the origin of writing this book.

He wrote in the preface that he was originally a descendant of the captives of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and after his ancestors were sold to the United States to build railways, he fled to Gotham to settle down, settled there, and grew up there.

His neighbor was a kind English woman named JK Rowling. Ms. Rowling saw that Feng Zhou was very cute, so she told him a story when she had nothing to do, and the story of Harry Potter came from this.

It was a beautiful and peaceful time, but the good days were shattered, and in 1929, the economic crisis that swept the world broke out, and many people became destitute overnight, and one day they came home from school, only to find their homes and their neighbors in flames.

It turned out that some homeless people did not hesitate to set fire to the forest in order to find a job, but the fire was not controlled and all the area around Feng Zhou's house was burned.

Feng Zhou's parents died, and so did JK Rowling.

After burying everyone, Feng Zhou used the remaining money to buy a ticket to Huaxia, because he had heard his parents say since he was a child that there were many martial artists in ancient China who were peaceful and peaceful, and the most famous at this stage was Baguazhang Grandmaster Gong Baosen, so he came to Fengtian in Huaxia thousands of miles to worship Gong Baosen as a teacher.

In order to commemorate his youth, Feng Zhou compiled the story that Ms. Rowling told him.

With this preface, Feng Zhou can explain the reason why he can write Harry Potter, and also mentions Gong Baosen and Baguazhang, and when this book sells well all over the world, Gong Baosen will also become famous all over the world

Maybe when the world visits, the reputation may not be lost to Mr. Mei Lanfang.

Of course, Feng Zhou dared to bring up Gotham because he had already inquired, on this plane, there is indeed a small city called Gotham on the east coast of the United States, which was destroyed by a man-made fire during the economic crisis the year before last.

Therefore, although there was no one to send him when he came to Jinmen, there were already people waiting when he left the train station.

"Aha, this is the respected Mr. Feng Zhou, I am Wu Hai, the editor-in-chief of the Beijing-Tianjin Times, and welcome to Jinmen. ”

As soon as he walked out of the station, a tall, big-nosed white man walked over and enthusiastically stretched out his hand to shake Fengzhou's hand.

Wood Sea glanced at Feng Zhou.

He is not tall, thin, and handsome, a very ordinary Chinese youth.

That was his first impression.

"Dear Editor-in-Chief Wood, I hope you have a happy time in China. Feng Zhou said quietly, reaching out and shaking it gently.

"Hiss......" Woodhead suddenly grinned and shook his hands desperately.

Seeing Feng Zhou's face as usual, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mr. Feng, your hand strength is too big." ”

"I'm sorry Mr. Woodhead, I'm a boxer, and I can't help but have more strength in my hands. Feng Zhou said with a smile.

"Haha, understood, understood. Wu Hai smiled bitterly, and then said with a smile: "Our car is there, please Mr. Feng get in the car, I have booked a table in Qishilin, and I will wait for you." ”

It was only when he said this that Woodhead revealed the reserve of a British gentleman.

Although the New World was young and vibrant, and the economy developed rapidly, the British Empire was the center of the world.

So although Feng Zhou in front of him has the experience of living in the United States, he is not valued by Wood Head, what he values is just the "Harry Potter" in the other party's hand.

"Don't worry, I still have to wait. Feng Zhou smiled slightly.

Wood Hay frowned slightly.

Could it be that this kid knew that he was waiting for him, so he pulled a few friends and took his car together, taking advantage of the opportunity?

Sure enough, he is a Chinese person who can't get on the stage, just this little bit of childishness.

I'm going to press him down later, so I can save a lot of money.

And if he doesn't agree?

Hehe, the entire northern "Beijing-Tianjin Times" is the most influential, without our "Beijing-Tianjin Times", who can he find?

Besides, by virtue of his position in the press industry, he can confirm that this kid has not submitted articles to other newspapers and magazines in the Pingjin area.

Thinking of this, Wu Hai smiled slightly: "Dear Mr. Feng, it is lunch time at this time, and the bread of Qishilin is free......"

Before he could finish his sentence, several white men rushed over, and the most recent one shouted: "Dear Mr. Feng, hello, I am David Ince, the China correspondent of the British Empire Times, and I have kept you waiting. ”

"I'm a British Mirror reporter......"

"I'm a correspondent for the Washington Post in China......"

"I'm a correspondent for the New York Times in China......

"I'm a reporter from the South China Morning Post......"

......

Looking at the appearance of these acquaintances scrambling, Wu Hai couldn't help but change his face and was dumbfounded.
